{"product_id":"oyster-mushroom-yellow-ready-to-fruit-block","title":"Oyster Mushroom 'Yellow' - 2.2KG Ready To Fruit Block","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden clusters that photograph like nothing else on the market. Yellow Oyster (\u003cem\u003ePleurotus citrinopileatus\u003c\/em\u003e), also known as Golden Oyster, produces vivid lemon-yellow to bright gold fan-shaped clusters that sell on sight at any specialty market or restaurant. Like Pink Oyster, it's a warm-weather summer variety that comes into its own when cool-season production slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYield and harvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expect 300–400g on first flush, with up to 4 harvests per block — slightly lower than pearl-type oysters but competitive at the premium price points that the visual impact commands. Yellow Oysters are fast to pin once conditions are right; harvest when caps are fully formed but before edges curl and the vivid colour begins to fade. Best sold or used within 2–3 days of harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the kitchen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild, subtly sweet and nutty flavour with a delicate, silky texture. Best with quick cooking methods — a brief toss in a hot pan, scattered over steamed rice, or folded into a light Asian broth. Don't overcook: both the texture and the gold colour are part of the appeal and both fade fast with too much heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–28°C, moderate to high humidity. Natural warm-weather companion to Pink Oyster in a seasonal production rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExpress post and bulk ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe strongly recommend express post during summer months to minimise heat exposure in transit.
